#original poem
NEW YORK
Oh New York ! Oh New York !
When will I see you again
The memories have faded but those feelings remained from when our story began,
The misty eastern breeze touching past my face,
The smell of burning gas from the ford going at pace,
The wet streets, the smokey aisles,
the noisy kids you can hear from miles.
Oh New York I have felt you and let me feel you again.
I’ve felt the black, I’ve felt the white,
I’ve felt the snow of the winter night.
Central Park and morning dew,
A waiting line to taste the brew.
The cheap plays, the shiny lights,
The busy sidewalks every night.
Oh New York I dream of you everyday,
This poem will never be complete until I feel you again someday….!
Tried to write but the words won’t come,
tried to feel but I felt numb.
Tried to talk but no one would listen,
My own mind felt like a goddamn prison.
These dark thoughts keep haunting my head,
This emptiness making me wish if i was dead.
All I hear is my souls muffled screams,
echoing in my skull and in my dreams.
On my deathbed staring at the ceiling
this thought of leaving has left me with strange feeling.
With Every breath I take my soul leaves slowly,
and all the things I was afraid to do now seemed unholy.
but thank God I did them even if I was scared,
And now I can close my eyes with the memories of our time that we shared.
origami bones
Opening a dance of folded grace
crawling out from under the paper weight
these origami bones can’t stay
creased too long in one place
pressed precisely into position
but the scuffs and bruises of indecision
still mar complex arrangement of limbs
and so I collapse and start over again
n.a.
Wether it’s the hope of love
The grief of love
The lesson of love
Or the regret of love
Once you have loved
It always remains
༄
You said you wanted all of me
So here I am
Darkness
Melancholy
Rage
Why are you walking away?
༄
You know what you’ve done
But to say it out loud
Is too brutal a reality
It would be suicide by honesty
And you are such a coward
༄
I remember a time when
I thought he would change
When I thought that my love
Would take his anger away
What a dangerous choice
I was willing to make
To sacrifice myself for a man
Who could never be saved
༄
When I look back at my life
I only recognize it for a moment
And then it’s gone
༄
I am so tired
It doesn’t matter how much I sleep
The sadness and worry
Are too heavy for me
And everytime I put them down
To breathe a sigh of relief
I hear the sound of fear and anger
Begin to slowly creep
༄
I remember his hands
The way they held me so tightly
The way they let me go
༄
You are the only one who knows
My silence means
I have so much to say
You listen to me
When I dont say a word
༄
Poetry is my lover
She always let’s me in
To cry
To listen
To confess all my sins
She found me voiceless
Wishing my tears were diamonds
So that I could buy back some time
Her poems come out of my heart
My eyes
My mind
She is so soft
And she never leaves
Thank you
My sweet lover
Poetry
༄
Was this earth not created through chaos?
Our universe makes love with the clash
Creation is the child of collision
A galaxy of grief
Atom + Eve
Here because God simply said
BE
༄
With you
I am drowning
In despair
I breathe
Incurable sadness
Not air
༄
The day will still come
No matter how hard you close your eyes
The night will kiss the day goodbye
Painting colors in the sky
Welcome the darkness
Embrace the light
Don’t fight against the up’s and down’s of life
༄
If forever is a place
I hope I go there with you
But I know that heaven will sigh
When you arrive with tears in your eyes
Wishing you could face the fire
Just to bring me too
༄
The truth is
I am ordinary
This realization is equally painful
As it is liberating
༄
I decided to add my collection of poems to Wattpad. Feel free to join me on there too!
Thank you for showing me love.
You’re back again,
Begging me to come back
To you-
For the third time.
They say the third time
Is the last time,
The charm, even.
But is that true
When it comes
To me and you?
-b.m.
